Best of the 141st Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show

NEW YORK (AP) — Quite a rally for Rumor – a commanding comeback for German shepherds, too.

Rumor was crowned America’s top dog Tuesday night when, a year after a near miss on the very same green carpet, she came out of retirement to win best in show at the Westminster Kennel Club.

Cheered loudly all around the ring by a packed crowd at Madison Square Garden, she’s just the second German shepherd champion at the event that began in 1877.
